Groovy, Gravy, and Wavy

Do you ever wake up with the perfect messy hair look, then proceed to deliberate if you are going to wash it or not?  Almost every Saturday morning I wake up with the best messy, beach waves dangling from my head. I thank the hair gods for making dry shampoo, but I do have a recipe of my own to get this look.  I have noticed that for a whole bottle of sea salt spray for your hair is nearly $5 or more...pshhh! So I decided to make my own concoction to make it look as if I had just came in from a morning surf.

First, you must know your own hair.  If you have very thin hair this may not work as well as it would someone who has wavy curls to begin with.  Those who do have wavy hair know that we are always looking for a way to tame the frizz & care for our fro.

Next check your cabinets, closets, and kitchen for ingredients that are used in this spray. You can most definitely find these products for very cheap if you do not already have them on hand. Also, this recipe can be modified to your own liking on how strong you want it, along with the ingredients you put into it.

Directions:
Bring 2 cups water to a boil then add the following
1 Tea spoon of honey
3 Tea spoons of Aloe Vera
1/2 Cup of Hair Gel
1 Cup Epson Salt
3/4 Cup Dead Sea Salt with Soothing Chamomile Flower
(you can be creative with the salts you find at the store)
Stir until all ingredients are liquid

Optional Additives:
For blonde hair you can add 1 squeezed lemon
For darker hair you can put 2 small scoops of coffee into a filter, rubber banding the filter to capture the grounds inside of the filter. Let it stew until the brew until it turns darker, then remove filter.


Once everything has been added to the boiling water it should all melt together. Do not worry if it is a weird color, you just added several things together. Then let the brew chill, and then add it to a spray bottle of your choice.  You may have extra depending on the size of your spray bottle so you can put the rest in mason jar or glass container.

Make sure that you "shake well" before every use.
Enjoy your beachy look
